 the lack of cover made it very difficult to stalk them. One fell twice to 

 shots from my gun, but eventually escaped.

 at Rajkot."- -C. A. C.

Vernacular name : — Kilkuri. 



" Common everywhere, difficult to obtain at Kudia. 



While having my tea one evening I saw a squirrel come down to the 

 place where I had been at work, and tow and wood were lying about, he 

 seized a piece of tow about a foot long, when without hesitation he deftly 

 rolled it into a tight ball and carried it up a tree, the rolling up of the ball 

 was accomplished with precision and neatness, one end being held by the 

 teeth while the rest was tucked up into the hollow of the neck. 



At Rajkot they were very common about the bungalows and cactus 

 hedges."— C. A. C. 



The specimens from Satapur have a much yellower appearance, while 

 those from Sihor are greyer.
